Player Sign Up: Partition Protocol: CPR

This form is currently to all applicants

Our Mission: Whenever possible to promote and feature tabletop roleplaying games created by individuals or by independent presses. 
Across the channel people of color will represent at least 50% of the total cast members.
We aim to present a variety of stories and cast members from outside the US and will actively seek out these opportunities.
Storytellers are responsible to make their worlds diverse- representing NPC humans across the spectrum of humanity that exists in real life. This will be through coding and explicit description. This must be done thoughtfully, without racist representations and stereotypes.

We stand for the following, if you do not, please don't apply.• Black lives matter.
• Trans women are women. Trans men are men.
• Love is love, all LGBTQIA+ are valid.

Game Information

Mini series (six episodes) for August through September. Game System: Triangle Agency Content Warnings: Covers core themes: (identity erasure, institutional control, coerced consent, existential dread) recurring elements :(grief, gaslighting, surveillance, cult dynamics), brief/specific moments (nosebleeds, drugging, self-harm as communication), Safety tools: (X-card, lines/veils, open door), and streaming considerations MEDIA: Outer Limits (tv and radio), Twilight zone, The Whistler (radio show), Severance (show)

Game Synopsis

The Triangle Agency has perfected something it calls the Partition Protocol: an Anomaly-derived procedure that splits a Field Agent's consciousness into two partitions. The "Exterior" retains no memory of Agency operations. The "Interior" knows nothing of the outside world. Management says it's for security, compartmentalization, and your protection. Your agents were partitioned six months ago. They don't remember volunteering. The Exterior doesn't know. The Interior can't leave. And lately, the partition has been leaking.

About the Storyteller

For this game, I will be your Director. My goal is to have these experiences as unique and immersive. As a senior manager and fellow human, it's my pleasure to welcome you to the team. I'm expecting that you'll live up to the Agency's values of team, trust, and talent. We have openings in our CPR department where our team works hard on different tasks.

Cast Members are responsible for:

• Table safety (including providing updated consent & safety forms whenever something changes)

Health & Safety

NWD values the health and safety of our community above all else. If for any reason you ever have concerns about a show, cast, player, DM, community member, or chancellor, please reach out to NWD staff. You will never be retaliated against, and we want to help you bring your best to your story with your strongest mental and physical health to every game. 
Speaking with a chancellor implies a certain amount of confidentiality. We will not share/disclose personal health or family situations to the cast or DM of your show. Where possible we will also keep your identity private as well.

Leaving the game

If for any reason you decide that a stream is no longer telling the story you want to tell, it's okay to leave that game. We ask that you connect with a Chancellor first so that we can work with you, the cast, and the graphics/production departments to make the necessary changes. 
Leaving a game never results in retaliation or loss of future opportunities with NWD.

Casting, Diversity, and Accommodation

In regards to our above policy that people of color will represent at least 50% of total cast members. We recommend that whenever possible STs make an effort to cast two or more people of color. NWD believes that no marginalized person should be excluded from a game due to bigotry. As such we ask that STs make their table a safe place for women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and more.   

There is no obligation to cast any Chancellor or member of NWD staff. No retaliation for not casting a Chancellor or staff member.
